A brand new 163-acre adventure park serves as a destination for outdoor recreational activities including a kayak/boat launch dock, bicycle skills course, six-miles of mountain bike trails, walking trails, and playgrounds.
该地区位于北卡罗来纳州东部内滩的塔尔河畔，拥有宽阔的河口、入海口、海湾和缓慢流淌的河流，这里气候温和，一年四季都适合户外运动爱好者划船、划皮艇、钓鱼、徒步旅行、露营和观鸟。
A strong baseball and softball culture exists in the area, with Greenville serving as home to the Little League Softball World Series (LLSWS) as part of a five-year agreement and teams making it to the Little League World Series (LLWS) on more than one occasion. Plus, it seems like the entire region turns out for ECU Pirate football, baseball, and basketball games.
